One of the hottest products and in demand in the business world, is the rising demand for project and business management systems.As society is moving towards self sufficiency and self education, more and more business owners want to be able to control all aspects of their business by themselves.

Many business owners in the past used to hire mid-level management staff , the likes of office managers,project managers,PAs. Although, these types of roles may be good and still available in most large organisations, it has proven to be quite a problem for the small business owners. The problems it created are:

1. Added costs of mid-level management salaries.2. Another layer of supervision that needed to be supervised by the business owner.3. Difficulty to find suitable and reliable candidates. It is notably difficult to find good mid-level managers and the employee retention is quite poor at these levels.

But, the biggest reason, was the dependency that business owners developed in these people.

It is amazing how easy it was for business owners to shed this responsibility and easily shift their business core actions to other people. Some of these mid-level employees enjoy this type of dependency and encourage it, in fact. When an employee feels that the boss desperately needs and can not handle anything without them, it is surely a great ego booster and an excellent card to play when a salary raise is in need or any other benefits.

While I am not claiming here that these jobs are redundant, I would still like to stress that developing such a dependency in your own employees is a dangerous thing. Not knowing how your own projects,clients or finances are doing is a warning sign!

So, how can you both have the time to macro-manage your business and not lose control over its core actions to your employees?
